In need of TLC
Pros:

The bed was comfy.

Cons:

The exterior was dirty with cobwebs outside the window, dusty door track, torn curtains, only 1 bowl, 1 plate, 1 spoon, but 2 cups. The crockery was not cleaned although the bed was made and beverages resupplied. The motel is right beside the busy M1 freeway. The garden beds are overgrown, and could cause a trip hazard.

Bed was comfortable. That’s about it.
Pros:

Bed was comfortable and clean. That’s about it.

Cons:

Price tag, pool unserviceable and green, general facility is old and needs an uplift. Shower was like a garden hose with no nozzle. Person at reception not friendly.

Disgusting
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The hotel is not looked after and the staff makes fun of it and don’t care.

Swimming pool was disgusting. If you are not going to have the swimming pool available for the guest then remove it from your photos.

Alright for one or maybe two nights but no longer.
Pros:

The bed was comfortable, The room was clean and there was a TV provided for local channels. Parking outside the door.

Cons:

No catering was supplied. The restaurant is closed so no meals were provided. We were directed to a shopping plaza across the street which appeared to be closed at sundown, no dining facilities available.
Grumpy old man who was unsure of the procedure was on the desk. The Asian owner (we presume) would not come closer than 6 metres citing illness.

We had to pay a $50 security deposit, but we still haven’t received the refund. CONCERNING!!!

This property is obviously struggling to survive, very few cars in the carpark.
Rooms are not serviced on weekends or public holidays. The large sign was not illuminated after dark which made the property difficult to locate.

Nice place but not worth the price I paid booking.com and mislead by booking.com as to star rating
Pros:

Big room with desk, couch, radio alarm clock. Kettle, toaster & fridge. Free to use laundry and next door to grocery stores/chemist & eateries. Management and staff were really friendly and attentive. There is alot of parking which is great if you rent a car.

Cons:

Restaurant,Pool ,spa closed down
internet & tv reception not working
Mgnt gave me a $40 SIM card as internet replacement.
Unfortunately maintenance is not good at this hotel. My bathroom door had what looks like a punch hole that has been patched but not painted. The window looks like it was broken into at sometime but they haven’t bothered to repair it. I come to this conclusion due to my security experience. The fly screen looks like someone ripped a hole into it and the lock on the window has been broken off.
I didn’t feel safe leaving my valuables in the room and I wouldn’t recommend Bruce unless you are a single male traveling like myself.
